An Evening with Jewels by N

A few weeks ago I have received a private invite from Kuwaiti jewelry designer Nouf Zaman who wanted me to preview and get the first look at her beautiful new brand Jewels by N.

I was warmly welcomed by Nouf the designer and her lovely sister Fajer who explained to me how she personally designs each piece taking inspiriting from vintage jewelry and then she have them manufactured by experts in India. They have received a very positive feedback from her clients, and I'm not surprised, as I looked closely at Jewels by N's edited range of statement necklaces, cuffs, and earrings all made of semi-precious stones and zircon crystals, the pieces really stood out, everything looked beautiful, perfectly designed, and expertly hand-crafted. And speaking of statement necklaces, the timing of this jewelry exhibition couldn't be any more perfect! Statement necklaces for your caftans anyone? The pieces are priced between KD35 and KD220, which seems like a steal for pieces that are so well handcrafted and look lavish.

Thank you so much, Nouf! I just loved having a peek into your amazing world.

Take a look below at my shots from the preview. If you wish to visit the exhibition or have any further inquiries, please call (+965) 9775-1255 to book an appointment.

The necklaces in action... beautiful no?

The designer Nouf Zaman was re-arranging the display after the mess I made :P Oh and look at her Valentino shoes..me like!

Miu Miu Pays Tribute to the Middle East

Everyone who knows me, knows that I have a soft spot for bag charms. They're fun, cute, and add a dose of irresistible character to your plain handbag. So when I got the news about Miu Miu paying tribute to the Middle Eastern culture by presenting an exclusive playful yet multifunctional accessories in luxurious precious skin, I got excited intrigued. The round-shaped charms has the Arabic alphabet, each piece presenting a letter design with metallic hues and vibrant colors. They're cute, nothing groundbreaking. I'm not sure if these bags charms would step up my bag charms game, but I guess it depends on their price tag and how "exclusively" exclusive they are. Maybe they'll grow on me? I don't know... What do you think? The charms should be available exclusively in Miu Miu Boutiques throughout our region.

Magical Mode

As anyone who regularly reads Confashions may know, there are some designers I’ve been obsessed with for quite some time: one is the genius Erdem , the other is Nicholas Kirkwood , and Pierre Hardy . And because their designs are somehow easily accessible online and offline, I had the pleasure of featuring some of their creations and showing them the love they deserve. That said, there is one designer I’ve been particularly smitten with for quite some time. He has always been on the top of my favorite designers list ever since I was introduced to his designs by my fabulous fellow fashionisto Adnan Z Manjal a couple of years back : Saudi designer Mohammed Ashi . I always wished I featured him more. I couldn’t because his pieces are very exclusive and as far as I know not stocked anywhere here. This clearly isn't just another post on my obvious love for Mohammed Ashi’s designs or the quality of his clothes as I have done that previously. Ashi simply deserves his very own epic p...

Altuzarra or Aquazzura?

That is the question. It took me a whole season to finally tell these two brands apart, and this season, there's no mistake, each brand is now engraved in my fashion database like a personalized Tiffany's pen. And this Resort 2015 season, I'm head over heels with their flats, on display now at AlOthman Boutique . Altuzarra's version comes in a tonal-gray water snake and are decorated with beige shells, red beads and silver sequins. Aquazzura's lace-up sandals come in a beautiful shade of apple green, and will work with white or bright colored casual summer outfit. After much thought and sole-searching, I have decided to go for the Altuzarra sandals. They're safely stored in my closet, waiting for the dust and the cold to go away. Which pair would you go for?
